There is no authorised health claim for vitamin C that relates specifically to children. That is why there is none here.

• Maltitol, sorbitol: Sugar substitutes. They sweeten without sugar, but can have a laxative effect in larger amounts.
• Pectins: A gelling agent from fruit. This allows us to make the gummies without gelatine.
• Citric acid: Provides the fresh taste.
• L-ascorbic acid: The chemical name for vitamin C.
• Turmeric powder: Powder from the turmeric root, familiar from cooking.
• Natural flavouring: Provides the lemon flavour.
• Carnauba wax, coconut oil: The anti-caking agents, so the gummies don't stick together.

Take 1 gummy (2.5 g) daily.

Vitamin C is plentiful in peppers, kiwi and, yes, broccoli. If your child likes them, all the better. If not, there is this gummy. One a day, even if the taste leaves them wanting more.

Humans cannot make vitamin C themselves, whether children or adults. It has to come from food.

Vitamin C is water-soluble and sensitive to heat. That is why raw peppers contain more than cooked ones. A small plate of pepper sticks in the afternoon is a good source of vitamin C, and children often prefer it to cooked vegetables.
